Journal Title: Indian Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Adenomyosis is a lesion of myometrium characterized by ectopic endometrium seen within the myometrium. There may or may not be hyperplasia of surrounding myometrium. A majority of cases are diagnosed following histological examination of hysterectomy specimens. Objectives: The aim of the study is to correlate adenomyosis which was diagnosed in hysterectomy specimens with clinical diagnosis and patient profile. Methods: It is a retrospective study of case records of all the patients whose hysterectomy specimens showed adenomyosis and analysed with regard to the clinical profile. Results: Of 250 patients studied the prevalence of adenomyosis was found to be highest in the age group 41-50. The chief symptom the majority presented with was menorrhagia followed by dysmenorrhea. In around 50% of cases, they were clinically diagnosed preoperatively. Conclusion: The true prevalence of adenomyosis is still unknown. The data published in other studies were found to be consistent with the results in our study.
